Again, this is due to the custom coding of scripts in your web root; your UBB.threads software is located in /forums which is working fine.

Read your paths:
/home/xxxx/public_html/libs/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_template.php

This is not pulling code from the forum folder. It's likely a non-PHP8 version of Smarty being utilized (likely smarty 3.1.xx, the newer versions of smarty included in UBB.threads8 lacks a sysplugins folder (which your error is having issues with).
